Bhoo Konugolu portal (AP): official links & registration

What a Bhoo Konugolu auction is

Andhra Pradesh runs its urban land e-auctions through one shared state website: the Bhoo Konugolu Urban Land e-Auction Portal at bhookonugolu.ap.gov.in. This guide covers the NTR Smart Township plot auctions held by the Kadapa Urban Development Authority (KUDA) and Srikakulam Urban Development Authority (SUDA), plus Proddatur Municipality’s IDSMT layout auction. You register, pay the deposit and bid on the same portal for all three issuers. — per the KUDA, SUDA and Proddatur Municipality terms, which direct bidders to bhookonugolu.ap.gov.in.

The portal is state-wide: its own auction search lists twenty organisations, from urban development authorities to APCRDA and Rajiv Swagruha divisions, as on 28 July 2026. The mechanics below — one account, a deposit per plot, timed bidding — are the portal’s; the money figures and deadlines are each authority’s own, so read them off the documents for the auction you are entering. — per the Bhoo Konugolu auction search, read on 28 July 2026.

Each sale starts as proceedings: the authority’s own order approving the auction, which lists every plot with its number, size and boundaries, and fixes one sale rate per square yard as the reserve price (the floor below which no bid is accepted). A separate terms document sets the deposit, the fees, the bidding rules and the payment schedule.

This guide uses the now-concluded KUDA auctions at Rayachoty, Railway Kodur and Proddatur, the scheduled SUDA auction covering two phases at Boddapadu in Palasa, and Proddatur Municipality’s scheduled IDSMT Layout auction as worked examples. The portal mechanics overlap; bid steps, fees, refund times and post-win payment clocks are issuer-specific and are flagged below. — per the KUDA, SUDA and Proddatur Municipality proceedings published on Bhoo Konugolu and each issuer’s terms.

Where the bidding happens — online

Bidding is online on the Bhoo Konugolu portal, in one timed session per auction — there is no auction hall and no paper bid. Before it opens you register on the portal and pay the fees and deposit for each plot you want, within a published window. The concluded KUDA worked examples were scheduled for 20 August 2026, 10 AM to 5 PM IST. SUDA’s Boddapadu phases are scheduled for 3 September 2026, 10 AM to 5 PM IST; Proddatur Municipality’s IDSMT auction is scheduled for 23 September 2026 at the same hours. — per the KUDA proceedings dated 22–23.07.2026, the SUDA Boddapadu proceedings, the Proddatur Municipality proceedings dated 26.08.2026, and the windows published on Bhoo Konugolu.

During the session, each plot shows its reserve price, the current highest bid, your own last bid and a countdown clock, and you raise the price with a bid button. Once you hold the highest bid on a plot, the portal will not let you raise it again — the button comes back only when someone outbids you, so watching the screen matters more than clicking fast. — per the portal’s official user manual (bidding screens).

The 5 PM close is a scheduled close, not a guaranteed one. A bid placed in the last 10 minutes pushes that plot’s close out by another 10 minutes, and the terms used by all three issuers set no limit on how many times that can repeat — so a contested plot can run well past its printed end. The live clock on the portal is the one that counts. — per the KUDA terms revised 27.07.2026, the SUDA terms and the Proddatur Municipality terms dated 26.08.2026.

The bid step differs by issuer. SUDA accepts bids in multiples of ₹25,000 and takes no bid below the reserve price. KUDA and Proddatur Municipality use ₹5,000 multiples and require a first bid ₹5,000 above the reserve or upset price before a bidder counts as taking part. — per the SUDA terms, the KUDA terms revised 27.07.2026 and the Proddatur Municipality terms dated 26.08.2026.

Two rules in the terms are easy to miss. Paying the deposit is not the same as bidding: KUDA and Proddatur Municipality say a bidder who never places a valid bid has no claim to an allotment. A placed bid cannot be withdrawn without forfeiting the deposit, while each issuer retains discretion to accept, reject, postpone or cancel under its own terms. — per the KUDA terms revised 27.07.2026, the SUDA terms and the Proddatur Municipality terms dated 26.08.2026.

Registration, the fees, the deposit and every bid happen on the official Bhoo Konugolu portal — never on BiddingPulse. We read the official documents and lay out what they say.

Registration details for bhookonugolu.ap.gov.in

Anyone can bid who is an Indian individual above 18 years or an Indian registered firm, and one account can enter any number of auctions and any number of plots. Before you start, keep three things at hand: your Aadhaar — with a working mobile number linked to it, because every login runs on an OTP (a one-time password sent by SMS) to that number — your PAN, and your bank account details. The terms also ask for a bank passbook copy with your registration documents. — per the KUDA, SUDA and Proddatur Municipality terms (eligibility and registration clauses).

Registering an account is free, and the portal publishes its own click-by-click manual with screenshots — linked at the top of this page. In outline: — per the portal’s official user manual.

1. Open bhookonugolu.ap.gov.in, click Login, then “Register Here”.
2. Pick your applicant type — individual, firm, or group of individuals.
3. Enter your Aadhaar number, tick the consent box, and confirm the OTP sent to your Aadhaar-linked mobile. Your name, photo and address fill in from Aadhaar.
4. Check the mobile number carefully — it becomes your login ID for the portal.
5. Add your current address, PAN, and a nominee (their name, Aadhaar, relation and mobile).
6. Enter your bank account and IFSC exactly. This is the account your deposit is refunded to if you do not win.
7. Submit, and log in afterwards with your mobile number, the captcha, and an OTP.

The portal home page notes that credentials activate after your details are verified, so finish registration well before the deposit deadline of the auction you want rather than on its last evening. KUDA’s estate wing answers on 7382665060 and SUDA’s on 9059007584. Bhoo Konugolu notification 00694 lists Proddatur Municipality on 9247563391 and mpl.proddatur@gmail.com; its terms direct bidders to the Town Planning Section help desk. — per the Bhoo Konugolu home page (read on 28 July 2026), the KUDA terms revised 27.07.2026, the SUDA terms, the Proddatur Municipality terms dated 26.08.2026 and Bhoo Konugolu notification 00694.

Once you are in, the plots live under “Upcoming Auctions” on your dashboard: each auction card shows its registration window and auction date, and opens into the full plot list with sizes, facings and boundaries. From there you tick the plots you want and pay the deposit — covered next. — per the portal’s official user manual.

The earnest-money deposit (EMD)

The earnest-money deposit (EMD) is the refundable deposit you place before you can bid. The KUDA, SUDA and Proddatur Municipality notices this guide covers each set it at a flat ₹1 lakh per plot — the same amount whatever the plot is worth — and require one deposit per plot, so bidding on three plots means three deposits of ₹1 lakh, paid online through the portal. — per the KUDA terms revised 27.07.2026, the SUDA terms and the Proddatur Municipality terms dated 26.08.2026 (EMD clauses).

That ₹1 lakh is not a Bhoo Konugolu-wide figure. KUDA, SUDA and Proddatur Municipality each set the deposit and fees in their own notification or terms — so on any other auction on the portal, read the deposit off that auction’s documents rather than carrying this one across. — per the KUDA, SUDA and Proddatur Municipality terms, whose EMD and fee clauses are stated for their own notifications.

The non-refundable charges differ. KUDA and SUDA set a ₹2,000 processing fee and ₹500 platform fee; Proddatur Municipality sets ₹5,000 and ₹500. In the manual’s KUDA/SUDA-style checkout example the two charges appear once on a multi-plot selection — a nine-plot basket shows ₹9 lakh of EMDs plus one ₹2,000 and one ₹500 — but always follow the amount and charging basis shown for the auction you enter. — per the KUDA, SUDA and Proddatur Municipality terms (fee clauses) and the portal’s official user manual (EMD payment screen).

The losing-bidder refund window also differs. KUDA and SUDA say the deposit returns without interest within one week through the same payment mode; Proddatur Municipality says within 10 days of the auction closing, without interest. The portal manual says the refund goes to the bank account entered at registration, which is why that account number has to be right. — per the KUDA, SUDA and Proddatur Municipality terms and the portal’s official user manual.

KUDA and SUDA use one post-win pattern: 10% of the final bid within 5 days, holidays included, with the deposit adjusted, followed by three 30% instalments. SUDA’s fall due 1, 2 and 4 months after allotment; KUDA’s last two fall at 6 and 9 months, while its first has two conflicting dates described below. Their portal flow then produces the allotment letter and the terms refer to signing a sale agreement at the authority office. — per the SUDA terms and conditions of sale, the KUDA terms and conditions of sale revised 27.07.2026, and the portal’s official user manual (allotment letter).

KUDA’s first instalment is the one to check before you plan around it. Its allotment clause says the first instalment is due within one month of allotment and that missing it forfeits the 10% already paid; the payment schedule on the next page says 3 months. The document prints both without reconciling them — in SUDA’s terms the same clause matches its own one-month schedule, so the conflict is KUDA’s alone. We could not establish which date governed. The earlier one-month clause is the provision carrying the forfeiture, while the payment schedule prints 3 months. — per the KUDA terms and conditions of sale revised 27.07.2026 (allotment clause 5 against its payment schedule).

Proddatur Municipality uses a different clock: the highest bidder brings the payment to 25% within 15 calendar days, with the deposit adjusted, and pays the remainder within 60 calendar days. Its table then prints a possible next 30 days at “18% per month” on the defaulted amount before cancellation. Because that wording is unusually onerous, verify the rate and calculation with the Municipality in writing. — per the Proddatur Municipality terms dated 26.08.2026 (payment schedule, clause 10).

KUDA and SUDA say that paying the whole balance within a month of signing the agreement earns a 5% rebate, and a late instalment adds 0.5% simple interest a month; the Proddatur Municipality terms cited here do not state that rebate. Your bid is still not the whole cost: the three issuers put stamp duty, registration fees and applicable charges on the buyer, while Proddatur also says GST, TDS and other statutory taxes or duties are payable above the highest bid. — per the KUDA terms revised 27.07.2026, the SUDA terms and the Proddatur Municipality terms dated 26.08.2026.

The auction timeline

The now-concluded KUDA worked examples — Rayachoty, Railway Kodur and Proddatur — shared one published schedule. Proceedings were dated 22–23 July 2026. Registration, fees and deposit were scheduled to open on 28 July 2026 and close on 18 August 2026 at 10 PM IST, and bidding was scheduled for 20 August 2026, 10 AM to 5 PM IST. — per the KUDA proceedings dated 22–23.07.2026 and the windows published on Bhoo Konugolu.

One current worked example is SUDA’s Boddapadu Phases I and II. The portal listed them on 25 July 2026; the published registration, fees and deposit window opened on 25 July 2026 at 10 AM and is scheduled to close on 1 September 2026 at 11:59 PM IST. Live bidding is scheduled for 3 September 2026, 10 AM to 5 PM IST. — per the SUDA Boddapadu Phase I and Phase II proceedings and the windows published on Bhoo Konugolu.

Proddatur Municipality’s current IDSMT worked example covers 124 plots. Its registration, fee and deposit window is scheduled for 31 August 2026 at 10 AM through 20 September 2026 at 5 PM IST, with live bidding scheduled for 23 September 2026, 10 AM to 5 PM IST. — per the Proddatur Municipality proceedings dated 26.08.2026 and notification 00694 on Bhoo Konugolu.

The proceedings label their own schedules “proposed”, and KUDA’s print a registration window that starts earlier than the portal’s. Where a proceeding and the portal disagree, the dates above follow the portal. — per the KUDA, SUDA and Proddatur Municipality proceedings and the windows published on Bhoo Konugolu.

After the auction, KUDA and SUDA use the 10%-within-5-days plus three-instalment path described above; Proddatur Municipality uses 25%-within-15-days and the 60-day balance clock. These are document-specific rules, not portal defaults. — per the KUDA terms revised 27.07.2026, the SUDA terms and the Proddatur Municipality terms dated 26.08.2026.
